Let's get cracking

What is Centure?

Centure is a game I'm working on in my free time. It's a 2D platformer (much like mario bros.) revolving around the idea of switching between two versions of the same character on the fly. You'll see more in due course.

Who are you?

I'm that guy that made Centure.

Why that name?

I just made it up to have something to call this blog and I'm sticking with it. Seriously.

How far are you now?

Right now? I've been working for a few weeks now and I'm gradually getting the character movement down (together with collision detection). I've never made a game before and this is a spare time project so excuse the slowness of my work. Rest assured there's loads of effort going into making movement perfect so the rest of the game isn't hampered by it. I want it to be fun just to move the character around.

Are you going to give up on it?

No.

What's this blog for?

It's just a place where I can update anyone who cares about how development is going.

Can I help?/ Do you need help?

Nope! Sorry, but I'm really interested in seeing how far I can take this on my own. It's sort of a challenge for myself. I'll be doing everything myself except testing. You can help with that when the time comes, I guess.

If you have any other questions, just chuck 'em in the comments. I'm sure there'll be millions seeing as this is such a high profile game and all.

About Me

About Centure

The year is 3024 and the Corha World Government has pulled out of the operation to make Biological Creatures. Lera, the creator of Biological Creatures, is a wanted criminal after evading the police following a tragic accident during the creation of one of the Creatures, and now Centure and her other creations are set to be destroyed. It's up to Centure to brave the dangers of Corha to save his now power-starved brothers, his life and, perhaps, the world.

Centure is an indie platformer by Doug that is built around the simple gameplay mechanic of switching between two very different characters. This blog will serve as a diary of its development.
